A/N: I wrote this using sections from 'Winter Lessons' (In the Hand of the
Goddess) and 'Make Me Love You', by Jessica Andrews, so hardly any of it is
my own work. I heard this song and it fits the section too perfectly too
pass up the chance. R/R!

Alanna felt bold and wonderful, strolling through the luxurious palace gardens by herself. Finding an isolated bench, she put her cloak aside and sat down. The moon was full, and she relaxed in its soft silver glow, turning her face up to it.
*There's moonlight on the trees
Paintin' silver on the leaves*
A night for lovers, she thought, then bit her lip. She had no lover, and she didn't want one.
*It's so beautiful out here
I just had to stop and stare
That's unusual for me*
…
"You're fighting what has to be," he said, "and you know it as well as I do."
"I-I know no such thing," she stammered. "I promised myself once that I'd never love a man!"
*I had a happy heart of stone
No voice to answer but my own*
"Maybe I almost broke that promise just now…"
*Now I want more from the night
Since you waltzed into my life
You couldn't leave well enough alone
Why out of all the people in this world
Why did you set your sights and single out this girl?
Oh, why did you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?*
"Stop it," he told her sternly. He made her look up at him. "We belong to each other. Is that silliness? Surely you've realized all along this had to happen."
*In an instant sweet and strange
Everything about me changed*
She rapped on the door between their rooms.
*Whether I want to or not
I come to you with all I've got
And I'll never be the same
Why out of all the people in this world
Why did you set your sights and single out this girl?
Oh, why did you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?
Tell me why
Why'd you have to go and make me
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?*
"Jon?"
He opened the door. His eyes were bright as he looked at her. Alanna swallowed. "I'm scared. Help me, please."
*Maybe this is just a dream
Or maybe this was meant to be
I just pinch myself and wonder why*
Jon's voice was rough as he said, "I'm scared, too. At least we can be scared together."
*Why out of all the people in this world
Why did you set your sights and single out this girl?
Oh, why did you have to go and make me love you?
Why'd you have to go and make me
Why'd you have to go and make me love you?*
